April Overview: playball.micro.blog
@apoorplayer I left my fantasy football league after this year – it was ruining it for me, when all was said and done. What’s the deal with the 5-inning starters? Is this the new thing? Make the starters ruin their arms and pull them?
@drwalt Two things are at play IMO. One is the concept of “max effort,” that every pitch has to be your absolute best. The second is the incredible torque that is being placed on arms to get both high spin rate and deep movement and break on off-speed pitches. The strain on the arm and elbow is intense.
@drwalt I’ve also been playing rotisserie baseball with these guys for over 30 years now. I’m mostly in it for the fun and the tradition. They originated as a group of lawyers, so the added benefit is I get free legal advice when needed. :-)
